TIME TO REPAIR
‘BROKK’ CLOCK
BY MIKE COTTON
THAT clock – it’s brokk.
The clock on the side of The Civic
proved such a talking point that
singer Dave Cherry wrote a song
about it singing “It’s brokk that
clock, on t’side o t’Civic ‘All.”
But now it really is ‘brokk’. The
thousands of red LEDs representing
the hands of the clock have been off
for the last few days.
Dave said: “I can’t believe it. It’s not
my fault it’s broken. I was just look-

ing for a new song to go in my musical, the Old Club Trip, and in
Barnsley we like to joke about what
we’ve got.
“It’s not that I’m making fun of the
clock – I like it. I think it’s an asset for
Barnsley. But I still can’t tell the time
on it.”
Civic spokesman Raychel Perks
said the clock has been out of action
for a week.
She said they were waiting for a
part to get it working.
She said: “It never broke until Dave

wrote that song.”
Many people who’ve spoken to the
Chronicle since it was switched on
two years ago say they can’t tell the
time on the clock.
When it works, the LEDs form three
red lines of light, moving round the
clock like snakes in a rectangular formation.

song in a video report at

song ‘The Clock It’s

Advertiser’s Announcement

Barnsley NHS Stop Smoking Service
Dan Sharp Stop Smoking Journey
I stopped smoking two years ago now, in
August 2008. I heard about the Stop
Smoking Service through the adverts in
the Chronicle, and my partner also works
for the NHS, so she was encouraging me
to stop smoking as well. I was smoking
on average around 20 cigarettes per day,
I didn’t really have any health problems,
apart from the smokers cough on a
morning.
The Stop Smoking Service were really
supportive and it was really nice to come
into the service every week to have that
honest, open conversation and with
someone who never judged you for it.
Ultimately they helped me to be true to

myself, which helped me achieve my
goal. I would recommend the service to
anyone who is trying to quit smoking.
When I started to cut down on the
cigarettes, I needed something to fill my
evenings. I started running on an evening,
short distances at first, but now I am
running six miles, five to six times a
week. I’ve done a number of challenges,
including riding the Trans Pennine Trail,
both Three Peaks challenges, half
marathons and loads of walks in
between. I am currently training for a 5
day, 192 mile Coast to Coast walk.
Whilst I was giving up smoking, I had my
peaks and troughs, just like everyone

does and it took me about four to five
months to get rid off the ‘real’ cravings. I
would really like to encourage people to
give up smoking, and highlight that there
is life after smoking and it’s imperrative
to fill that gap with something.
I will shortly be doing the Wainright,
192 mile Coast to Coast walk for Marie
Curie Cancer and if you would like to
sponsor me please visit

Josh Simms, 18, of Woodroyd Close,
Carlton, is principal cornet with Barnsley
Metropolitan Band which competed at
Bolsover Festival of Brass.
Each band had to play a 20-minute
‘entertaining’ programme of its choice

and one of the band’s five pieces was
Josh’s solo Sugar Blues.
He impressed the adjudicator who gave
him the trophy for best soloist of the day.
His conductor and teacher Alex Francis
said: “It’s like the adjudicator said, the
solo really suited Josh’s playing.
“He really got into the jazzy, bluesy
style of the piece. I couldn’t have played
it better myself.”
Despite Josh’s playing, the band didn’t
win the competition overall.

SHARING
IS CARING
LOOKING after an elderly friend or relative
can often leave a carer
with little or no time
for themselves – but
help is at hand.
Support services in the
community can give carers
the free time they need to
undertake day-to-day

tasks, start employment or
simply have some time to
relax.
These services can also
help when the person
being cared for requires
specialist care or a substantial amount of looking
after.
Although care is often

accessed through the local
authority, social services
may work with other
agencies to provide different types of support such
as day centres, home help
or residential care.
Day care centres can
benefit the carer and the
person they care for by
giving them both a break
and a change of scenery.
These centres provide a
range of care services for
people with different disabilities, giving carers
peace of mind that their
loved one is being properly
looked after.
A helping hand: Support services in the local community can give carers a break.

PUPILS SEEK WAR MEMORIES
BY MIKE COTTON
PRIMARY school children from Birdwell
want to hear from people who have memories of the Second World War.
Birdwell Primary pupils Zara Johnson,
and Evie Flewitt-Tilston, both nine, wrote
to the Chronicle this week on behalf of
their class, asking if readers could help
them with a project on the war.
Most of their grandparents were born
after it had finished and have found it

difficult to find out what it was like living
in Barnsley at the time.
They said: “Our class is making a book
about people’s wartime memories. If you
have any interesting family stories or
information from World War Two, we
would be very grateful if you could send
them to us.”
They are also looking for photographs,
or artefacts or objects from the era.
Contact s.priest@barnsley.org or phone

Last year they were paid a total of
almost £1m, so the five per cent cut
will mean a saving of about £50,000.
It is thought Barnsley Council is one
of the first authorities voting to cut
pay to all elected members, although
several have talked about it.
Hull City Council has reduced the
pay of its cabinet members.
The cut covers the basic £10,975
allowance paid to all 63 members,
but also the special responsibility
allowances paid to those with additional duties, including cabinet members.
The biggest loser will be council
leader Steve Houghton, whose package will drop almost £1,900 from the
£37,500 he was paid last year.
He said: “I would hope all members
will agree with this. As elected members we have got to share some of the
pain.”
Coun Houghton confirmed the cut
would affect all councillors, but not
the council workforce. But staff pay
could still be reviewed in future.
He said: “We rule nothing in and
nothing out at this stage.”
Coun Phil Birkinshaw, leader of
Barnsley Independent Group, said he
agreed with the cut, but thinks the
salaries of council staff should also be
reduced.
“We always say the pay of the council’s chief officers should be reviewed.
I think those staff on salaries of more

than £50,000 a year could afford to
take a cut.”
But Labour’s Coun Tim Cheetham
said he did not agree with singling
sections of the workforce out, and if
officers’ pay was to be cut, it should
be across the board and not just the
top earners.
“We’d obviously protect the lowest
earners, on minimum wage. But
we’ve gone through an extensive
review to make sure everyone is now
on a salary which reflects their job, so
it would not be fair to target people
on certain salaries.
“My personal view – and it is only
my personal view – I would rather see
everyone take a five per cent pay cut,
than see five per cent lose everything.
But until we see the final settlement
from the government in the pay
review, we don’t know what’s going
to happen.”
Ray Oldroyd, convenor for Unison,
said he welcomed the proposed pay
cut for councillors, but did not think
staff pay should be reduced any further: “When you consider pay has
been frozen this year and for the next
two years, that already amounts to
more than a five per cent pay cut taking inflation into account.”
Matthew Sinclair, director of the
Taxpayers’ Alliance, said:
“Councillors need to establish the
moral authority they need in order to
impose necessary cuts.”
The councillors’ pay cut has been
agreed unanimously by the council’s
Labour members, but it will go to a
vote of the whole council later in the
year.

Fireworks will not be sold to anyone under 18
years of age. All fireworks conform to BS 7114

BARNSLEY’S councillors are to
take a five per cent pay cut
next year to help reduce the
number of job losses caused by
budget cuts.
